9、ced 21st century technology global positioning system (GPS) devices and the Internet to get “geocaching”. The word geocaching comes from “geo” (earth) and “cache” (hidden storage). Geocachers log onto a website to find information about the location of a cache usually a waterproof plastic box contai

10、ning small items such as toys and CDs along with a notebook where “finders” can enter comments and learn about the cache “owner”, the person who created and hid the cache. Finders may take any of the items in the cache but are expected to replace them with something of similar value. They then visit

11、 the website again and write a message to the owner.Geocaching became possible on May 1, 2000, when a satellite system developed by the U.S. Department of Defense was made public. Using an inexpensive GPS device, anyone on earth can send a signal to the satellites and receive information about their

12、 position. This is basically a high-tech version of orienteering, the traditional pastime which uses maps and compasses instead of GPS to determine ones location.Geocachers are a very considerate group. Owners carefully choose a caches location to give finders an enjoyable experience, such as a beau

13、tiful view or a good campsite. They also consider the environmental impact of their cache since it could result in an increased number of visitors to an area.

I didnt find the chimps tea parties funny, nor the bird shows entertaining. Feeding time for seals was less painful, but their performances still seemed

17、like they belonged more in a circus. And I hated circuses, especially the animal acts men teasing lions, girls balancing on elephants and monkeys playing football. I knew that every trick a circus animal did was unnatural, achieved through strict training and quite possibly cruelty.Happily, during m

18、y lifetime public attitudes and the law have changed. Circuses using wild animals are now almost extinct, and zoos have definitely evolved. When my children were young, I occasionally took them to our local zoo. The elephants were in tiny cages and the gorillas looked bored as they sat peeling banan

19、as and staring at teasing visitors. Each cage had a sign which listed the animals name and where it came from. But, back then, there was little information included about the environmental challenges they faced. As a result, environmentalists and animal lovers often oppose zoos. “Animals belong in t

20、he wild,” is a common and understandable complaint. But what do the animals themselves prefer? Generally speaking, zoo animals have a longer life. But you may protest they are not free. What? Free to be hunted and killed, free to die of hunger or thirst? Maybe sitting in a cage eating bananas isnt s

21、o bad.Not that such conditions are acceptable in modern zoos, due to the work of BIAZA, the British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums. These days every zoo requires BIAZAs approval to operate, and the association sets the standards, observes conditions in zoos and develops animal-research

22、programmes, both in the UK and abroad. BIAZA also organises the animal exchanges between zoos all over the world. Consequently, today, most zoo animals are born and raised in zoos, live in large, comfortable enclosures and are cared for by well-trained, knowledgeable and caring zoo employees. Of cou

25、oles are performed by BIAZA?A. Organising animal study projects and training zoo workers.B. Checking zoo conditions and arranging animal exchanges.C. Designing zoos and approving zoo operations.D.

Mr. Milton stood for quite a long time, then he raised his arms, took one massive bounce and launched himself into a perfect dive. It was beautiful. He fell with perfect style for what seemed minutes.

30、The crowd fell silent. The only sound to be heard was the faint whistle of his body tearing through the air toward the water far, far below. But about three quarters of the way down he seemed to have second thoughts and began suddenly to panic, waving his arms and legs like someone having a bad drea

When he was perhaps thirty feet above the water, he gave up on waving and spread his arms and legs wide, apparently hoping that it would somehow slow his fall.It didnt.He hit the water at over six hundred miles an hour. The impact was so loud that it made birds fly out of their trees three miles

32、away. I dont think he entered the water at all. He just bounced off it, about fifteen feet back into the air. After that, he lay still on the surface, spinning like an autumn leaf. He was brought to shore by two passing fishermen in a rowboat and placed on an old blanket where he spent the rest of t

33、he afternoon. Occasionally he accepted small sips of water, but otherwise was too shocked to speak. From head to toe, he was covered with deep red bruises. . It was the best day of my life.12.

37、s been the subject of much debate. 16 Others think that it is too weak. We can better understand this debate if we learn more about the U.N. and its history. The U.N. was started for two reasons. First, when the idea was born, people all over the world were tired of war. They felt that there must be

38、 peaceful answers to the worlds problems. 17 The second reason was that modern science had developed new bombs and airplanes. 18 National borders were beginning to lose their meaning. Science would develop even more dangerous weapons in the future. Only an international organization would be able to

39、 control modern science. Franklin D. Roosevelt, U.S. President at the time, believed that the Allies (聯(lián)盟) should plan for peace before the war ended.

51、單詞的正確形式。Although Socrates (蘇格拉底) was poor all his life, he never asked his pupils to pay for their lessons. He taught 41 the love of wisdom, not for money. And 42 he had to say was always new and worth hearing. All his pupils loved him. But his unusual ways of teaching and his demand that students a
